The angry curses in Andezhong's camp continued for a long time, until he was so tired that he sat on a chair and gasped for breath and couldn't curse anymore.
The generals on both sides dared to cautiously step forward to comfort him: "Ma Jiang is a waste." "Zhang Qing is also a bastard."
I've told you long ago that it's unreliable.
"I know they are unreliable." Ande Zhong gasped, and stood up angrily and slapped the table again, "I thought I could rely on them for at least ten days and a half! Who knew they could only rely on them for five or six days and then they were finished! Simply!"
Ande Zhong had no words to scold, so he reluctantly overturned the table made by Jin.
It’s simply infuriating!
"Ma Jiang brought the remaining soldiers and horses, but Zhang Qing and his wife's soldiers and horses were chasing them." A general asked, "Are we still sending reinforcements?"
Ande Zhong was not as angry and irritable as before. He hummed in a long tone, touched his fat chin, and asked: "Where is Mrs. Chu now?"
The generals said: "I have left Yang County, but have not returned to Yangzhou City yet."
Ande Zhong said: "What did Ma Jiang say before? Mrs. Chu has left Yangzhou City and is marching in the wild without the protection of the city. It is a good opportunity to kill."
He gasped and threw out a token.
"Then continue to send troops as he said."
The generals were stunned, looking at the mess on the ground, and the words Ande Zhong scolding Ma Jiang were still ringing in their ears... Why did they still do as he said?
"Captain, although it is easier to kill when marching in the wild than in the city, it is not easy to do."
"Mrs. Chu is on tight guard, and she knows our movements and is on guard."
"It is impossible to concentrate our forces and kill the Lady of Chu in one fell swoop."
Everyone tried to persuade him, maybe Ande Zhong was confused by Ma Jiangzhi's death?
"Stop arguing! Just do as I say!" Ande Zhong shouted, "Even if you can't kill that bitch, you must scare her to death!"
I'm afraid I won't die from fright! Mrs. Chu has been scaring others! But the generals didn't dare to say any more.
Ankangshan is going to proclaim himself emperor in the capital. It would have been a great joy. It would have been such a great news if he could deliver a great victory. Congratulations prove that destiny has been fulfilled. It is a pity that the battle with Southeast Road Qishan is not going well, and Ma Jiang is dead again.
So irritating...
The young governor was very angry now. It was better for everyone not to bring trouble on themselves, so they agreed in unison to accept the order.
But doing something you know is impossible but doing it with different momentum is different. Mrs. Chu didn't even see the new rebels coming from western Zhejiang, but she was blocked by Zhang Qing who was determined to win the favor of the new master.
This is not Zhang Qing's great strength. You can tell from the fact that those rebels only dared to harass Huainan Road, and they had no intention of fighting.
"Madam, you can go back to the Yamen." Bao Bao said.
Li Minglou shook his head: "These rebels cannot threaten me, but they can also harass the people. Now that the state capital and city are being rebuilt, it is the time when we need to stabilize people's hearts the most, so I will go out for inspection."
Since there was no need to fight in person, but to patrol the city from behind, the troops and horses were redeployed, and Ma Jiang's head was captured and sent to Linzhou to add the final touch to the last great victory on Huainan Road.
The emperor was overjoyed when he received the news. Not only did he reward Huainan Dao, but he also gave an oral praise to Wu Ya'er in Xiangzhou.
However, Wu Ya'er did not sit down in Xiangzhou, but was stationed outside Yancheng with the army.
The battle with Yancheng has lasted for three days, and both sides have their own victories and defeats. However, compared to the rebels who have a city, Wu Ya'er's side is a little more difficult.
Wang Li sat in the camp and sighed heavily, Linzhou's baggage still hadn't arrived.
"Don't count on His Majesty's baggage. We didn't count on it before, and we don't count on it now." Wu Yaer said with a smile, "Follow the old method and rob the enemy's opponent."
He used to be an inconspicuous soldier and general, but now he is a majestic governor. Wang Li curled his lips and had to rely on robbing for food and clothing.
"The Lady of Chu has achieved another great victory. Commander, please write her a letter to congratulate her." Wang Li had an idea and reminded, "By the way, I want some money and food, and some troops and horses would be even better."
Wu Ya'er smiled and shook his head: "I won't write it anymore."
In the past, when there was nothing serious to do, he would write letters one after another, but when there was something serious to do, he would not write. Wang Li glared angrily.
A general strode in from outside and burst out laughing before he opened his mouth.
"Great victory, great victory!"
Wang Li stared: "That woman actually achieved another great victory?"
The general laughed and said, "This is a great victory for men." He unfolded an emergency report and said, "Admiral Liang has recaptured Fan Yang!"
Wang Li opened his mouth to shout, but someone was one step faster than him.
"This is impossible!" Wu Ya'er stood up and said.
Wang Li closed his mouth and glanced at Wu Ya'er, "Tsk, why can only Mrs. Chu's victory be achieved, but not others?"
...
...
"It's absolutely true, we have indeed recovered Fan Yang."
"This letter was written by Old Governor Liang while sitting in the Yamen of Fanyang Road."
The men in Wu Ya'er's camp were crowded with chatter, bringing more news.
Wu Ya'er didn't say anything after saying that it was impossible. He just stared at the map, listening to the men's stories being marked on the map from time to time.
Soon a rough battle map appeared.
"This is indeed a risky move and also a matter of luck." He said, "It is not impossible for them to break into Fan Yang's army's inner defense line from such a dangerous place and achieve a great victory."
Wang Lida said: "It's not possible, it's already been taken. It's true."
A man laughed and said: "The old governor also made great achievements in battle back then. Crow, don't underestimate him."
Wu Ya'er said: "You can't underestimate your opponent. I always feel like something is wrong about this matter." He looked at the map again and asked, "Where is the wild boar?"
"The cunning wild boar was not caught and ran away with the people." A general said.
Speaking of this, everyone has no regrets. Not catching or killing the wild boar was everyone's expectation... being able to capture Fan Yang from the wild boar was already unexpected.
Wu Ya'er looked at him: "How many people and horses did the wild boar run away with?"
Everyone was startled, but they didn't know that the first thing the war report said was the news of victory and the simple process.
"The battle report must contain the number of casualties and prisoners." Wu Ya'er said, his voice low and sharp, "Go and check."
This sudden solemnity made everyone startled, and they subconsciously also became solemn, responded in unison, turned around and ran out.
The noise in the camp suddenly disappeared, and quietness returned, even a little dead quiet. Wu Yaer's eyes fell on the map again, slowly sliding down from Fan Yang, through the city, through the mountains and rivers, to Huainan Road.
.......
.......
The night covers the sky and the earth, and the villages at the foot of the mountain are lit with lights. They look like a mother's embrace to those who walk at night, quiet and warm.
The sound of dogs barking in the village lit up more lights. Before the villagers came out to check, there were two people holding gongs and torches in the shack in front of the Tutu Temple at the entrance of the village to inspect the intruders.
There were more than a dozen people who came, all wearing soldiers' armor, and they were in the cold light of the fire and the night.
"You passers-by want to stay overnight?" asked the old man holding a torch.
The torch illuminated the young and good-looking face of the general. He smiled and showed two small tiger teeth. He was a little uneasy and shy: "Isn't it inconvenient? We can sleep outside the village."
In today's world, who is not afraid of wearing military robes?
The old man smiled: "We are not afraid in Huainan Road. Where are you soldiers?"
Huya Xiaobing said: "We are from Dou County and are going to Yangzhou for reinforcements."
He looked at the old man with one eye, waiting for the old man to question. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the young man holding the gong behind the old man. The young man's hand seemed to be about to ring the gong at the next moment.
But the old man didn't have any doubts at all. He picked up a pen and wrote it down in a notebook. It seemed that his inquiry was just for recording, and he didn't care whether it was true or false.
"Please come to the village to rest." The old man said, "It's a heavy dew on an autumn night. Let's have a bowl of hot soup."
A smile broke out on Xiao Bing's face again, and his tiger teeth became curved around his mouth.
